Good Intentions...

Hello everyone! I hope you had a wonderful week.

I had a very nice one! I had really good intentions for this week. Unfortunately, I was not able to get everything done that I had planned.

It's interesting to me that there are so many weeks when I have a lot of free time. Then however, when I plan to get some extra things done, my week fills up with so many other unexpected events! Why does it happen that way?

My husband and I had a lot of those "unexpected events" this week. They were all good and fun, but definitely unexpected!

Let me remind you that I had "planned" to:

• paint the desk
• organize the office closet
• touch up some painted areas that needed touching up
• etc

Now, here's a look at our evenings this past week:

• Monday night - some good friends came into town from Seattle to tell us that they were expecting! We had dinner with them and later the girls and guys split up to do different fun things. Ice cream, etc.
• Tuesday night - we were invited (that morning!) to a good friend's birthday celebration
• Wednesday night - We met with the Pastor of our church to talk about some differences in the church. This went extremely well by the way and we feel so much better than we did. We're glad that God is calling us to stay at this church.
• Thursday night - Mackenzie had guys night. Which, you would think, gave me a lot of free time to do the things I had "planned". Unfortunately, I got sick and was resting in bed. :(
• Friday night - We went to watch Mackenzie's younger brother's basketball game - they won!
• Saturday - I had to work during the day. That evening, was actually our only "free" night together for the week. I had planned on painting the desk this day, but, due to financial reasons, we decided to wait on buying the paint. So, the desk was postponed and instead, I made a great dinner and we watched a movie!
  
• Sunday - Church, Mackenzie's grandparents came for a visit, and we had our annual "Dinner and a Movie" with Mackenzie's family.

So, with my work schedule during the day and all these activities in the evening, it left practically no time for me to get what I wanted done!

I was a little bummed but we really did have a good week.

I did try a few new recipes, that I will share with you later this week. :)

Since I have postponed buying the paint for my office desk, I have a question for you ladies. What color do you think I should choose? I was thinking just a cream color but if you have any other suggestions, I'd love to hear them!

Here's a picture so you can see what the desk looks like. This is in our office/guest room.

Sorry it's not the whole desk. You get the idea though, right?
I'll also be putting new hardware on it too. We really like brushed nickle hardware so I'll be finding some cute knobs that work with it!

I hope your Monday goes well and look forward to catching up with you all!
